PROFILE
Maxx Wilson
Over three months, contributed to the VEXU_GHOST robotics stack by developing a ROS 2 plugin ecosystem, advanced hardware integration, and autonomous control features. Built foundational robot plugins and refactored example packages to streamline experimentation and onboarding. Enhanced hardware interaction through bidirectional digital I/O, color sensing, and parameter tuning, using C++, Python, and CMake. Introduced PID-based motion control and path planning with Bezier and pure pursuit libraries, updating ROS node parameters for improved navigation. Integrated competition-driven control enhancements, including current-limited mechanisms and safety-focused libraries, resulting in more reliable autonomous routines and faster iteration cycles for robotics development and demonstration.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 – VEXU_GHOST: Consolidated improvements from the 2025 Texas VEXU Regional into the production stack, delivering competition-driven robot control enhancements and autonomous routine upgrades. Introduced a neutral stake mechanism control system with current limiting and arm control, and added libraries for current limiting calculations. Bug fixes from the regional improvements were applied to stabilize control loops and autonomous routines. Technologies demonstrated include real-time embedded control, motor current limiting, and safety-focused hardware integration. Business impact: more reliable autonomous performance, safer motor operation under load, faster iteration cycles, and improved scoring potential in upcoming events.
